A fortnight into the nationwide lockdown, some people are getting restless at home and counting the days when they can resume normal life. But teenagers like Bhoomika Dash are having a good time with positive vibes all around.
Staying fit and healthy is the first and foremost priority for the 17-year-old actress. She works out for an hour in the first half of the day and practises yoga for an hour in the evening.
“If you explore your hobbies, you can easily cope with the lockdown,” she feels.
She may have become an Ollywood celebrity at a very young age, but she is still a student.
“I didn’t get much spare time before, neither did I have much interest in cooking or cleaning. But now I’m learning these things which will in future,” Bhoomika says.
The girl who started off as a child artist in Odia films before bagging her first role as lead actress at the age of 14 has been trying out dalgona coffee and cold coffee. “I’m also learning to make kara pitha, roti etc,” she reveals.
Her other love is dancing, and she practises Odissi every day. “I am also fond of painting and doing sketches,” she says, adding that she has to make time to play ludo and carrom with her ‘little brother’.
Another activity, which helps her connect with fans during this global coronavirus pandemic, is to share some homemade face packs like orange peel face mask and coffee plus alovera gel plus vitamin E capsule face mask on her Facebook page. “People are loving it,” says Bhoomika.
“It’s important to spread positivity among people in these difficult times when anxiety can lead to depression,” Bhoomika signs off.
